Ode to Ex-Girlfriends Lyrics by Alex Dezen

Alex Dezen

2016

[Verse 1]
Kelly was the girl on the top swing
She gave me nicknames and paintings
Her father was dying of something
That she didn't understand
He was a great cook
And a kind man
[Verse 2]
Always, once a year
Usually when the snow appears
I look her up
She never replies
Probably wishes I would die
I left her for
My now ex-wife
[Chorus]
To all the lovers I wrote love letters
And all their mothers who bought me nice sweaters
To all of them, I hereby extend
This ode to ex-girlfriends
[Verse 3]
Ashley was the girl from Cambridge
She was a vegan and brutally honest
Her mother was French
And never liked me
I could always tell
We saw a jazz band in a hotel
[Verse 4]
But when I’m in Chicago
We get dairy-free gelato
And she looks sad
“I wish you were happy,” she says
And I just start laughing
"Jesus, I'm just fine”
But she’s knows I’m lying
[Chorus]
To all the lovers I wrote love letters
And all their mothers who bought me nice sweaters
To all of them, I hereby extend
This ode to ex-girlfriends
[Verse 5]
Laura was the girl in the boys pants
She was a big fan of They Might Be Giants
Her parents were Cuban and Spanish
Hair just like a willow tree
That I would climb in
When she kissed me
[Verse 6]
We said we would meet in 1998
In Central Park
And right there in the snow
She was standing all alone
Like Alice in that wonderland
[Chorus]
To all the lovers I wrote love letters
And all their mothers who bought me nice sweaters
To all of them, I hereby extend
This ode to ex-girlfriends
[Verse 7]
Elizabeth was the girl from the East Side
We never dated, but kissed a few times
We used to get high after school
When her parents were out of town
I'd tickle her arm till I passed out
[Verse 8]
I saw her at a bar
Stumbling into someone's car
Five years later
She kissed me on the neck
But was aiming for my cheek
Her hair smelled sweet
And she died the next week
[Chorus]
To all the lovers I wrote love letters
And all their mothers who bought me nice sweaters
To all of them, I hereby extend
This ode to ex-girlfriends
This ode to ex-girlfriends
This ode to ex-girlfriends
